Though you can just forget it, as it won't work in all cases, unless you construct the output string one value at a time. The bit I missed is that whilst printf doesn't care about the number of args matching the placeholders, it has no way to know that it needs to throw one, or more, way. Oh well, nice idea: shame about the implementation! -- Kevin M.
